On the Second Full Moon of August, August 30, 2023, which is also referred to as the Blue Moon, my day seemed to be very boring. And skeptical or not, that was highly incomprehensible to me. Full Moon days are rarely very dull for me. I even went so far as to create an Instagram story about it, and believe it or not, it only garnered six views. This was because for some reason, I thought, “Hmm, no, better delete it.” Once again, my intuition proved correct, because indeed, that evening, Stan Pluijmen reached out to me, first via email and then on WhatsApp. We hadn’t caught up since the release of Stan and Lana. I had engaged in quite extensive chatting only with Lana. Between Stan and me, only a few one-sentence emails had been exchanged.

A lengthy chat followed, extending well into the night. It went on from around 10 o’clock in the evening until half past three in the morning. I managed to get a few hours of sleep, and the next morning, precisely six hours later, at half past nine in the morning, Stan and I resumed our chat, and we even progressed to making an actual phone call, something we had done only once before. Lana also briefly got in touch with me. And this whole process lasted until half past two in the afternoon. Yes, you’ve calculated correctly – Stan and I chatted and talked for more than ten hours. But I’ll summarize this very briefly.

Naturally, Stan had read everything about his mention in the Joran van der Sloot case, Ilan Hoekstra’s podcast, my blog, and more. He decided to provide me with three audio files and screenshots as well. Firstly, John van den Heuvel is in the midst of yet another Joran documentary. Personally, I must admit I’m not overly excitedly anticipating it – we’ve heard Joran’s narratives so many times before. But still, well, let it come, you never know, perhaps there’s something new. I want to stick to my own motto: don’t be prejudiced. So, here we go! Stan sent me John’s conversation with Robbert van den Broeke; he was trying to get Robbert on board for the documentary. Stan had also received correspondence, multiple times in fact, but he wasn’t interested. I also received screenshots of that. But then came something even more intriguing. Two audio files of Joran calling self-proclaimed medium Robbert van den Broeke on August 5, 2023 – the day before his birthday on August 6 (also the birthday of my soulmate, Rob Nanninga). Stan had decided to finally confront the childish shenanigans from and in his past, to stand up for himself, to settle matters with anyone and everyone who sought money from him without being genuine friends. Additionally, he wanted to make something very clear to his dear, wise, and beautiful wife, Lana Sieradzka: these Joran-Stan myths had to be compared to the facts.

In the audio files, you can hear Joran van der Sloot saying that he mistreated Stan about 20 times. Stan robbed online casinos like a Modern Robin Hood, and only that. No, for example, he didn’t shut down websites to then extort people. Personally, I vouch for Stan in this matter; I’ve known him since 2012 and I’m quite well aware of what he has and hasn’t done. Online casinos, even the so-called “green” ones, making lots of money from them, shifting them from green to deep purple, – yes. Pressuring people – no. Joran, who was addicted to gambling, always wanted money, and Stan had money. Joran claims he’s changed now and found faith in the Lord. I wisely refrain from commenting on that. You can also hear that Robbert asks Joran to speak positively about the medium from Hoeven, because as Van den Broeke puts it, he’s genuinely clairvoyant, including about St. Anna – something Joran surely knows! (at least not through some kind of telepathic communication between Joran and Robbert, apparently, which is disappointing).

There are two things I want to mention myself. Joran van der Sloot has spun nearly 101 stories about Natalee’s fate or various stories that have been investigated. He claimed he left her on the beach, she was taken on a boat while intoxicated, she was buried in a swamp, she was kidnapped by a pimp, she was placed beneath the foundation of a hotel, and so on. But have you ever heard Joran van der Sloot telling the police or the media that he placed Natalee alongside his father – who might have tragically passed away due to sheer misery – in an existing grave at the St. Anna cemetery in Aruba, a possibility of a double burial? Therefore, Natalee’s fate forever intertwined with another’s on Aruba? Let this resonate. What does silence tell you? Especially in Joran’s story? Occam’s razor, the most straightforward explanation, was never shared by him nor thoroughly examined. Where do you go when you’re panicked, holding the body of a beautiful girl weighing less than 50 kilograms? She can easily be lifted, moved by strong bears like Joran and his father. What do you think about? About what you, as Dutch people, have witnessed in Aruba – graves above ground where bodies are placed as simply as A-B-C? And one more thing. Listen very carefully to how Joran reacts when Robbert mentions St. Anna. Does Joran spontaneously or cleverly say, “No, that’s nonsense, she’s not there”? No, he says at 16:36, “Doesn’t really mean anything. I remember Stan suddenly brought that up. That’s just ridiculous. I can’t even imagine people going to look through a cemetery. There are obviously a lot of bodies buried there. That’s a cemetery there.” Let that resonate within you. And I hope they find Natalee quickly, with DNA evidence and all, at the St. Anna Cemetery in Aruba.

Stan and Lana have been married since 2017, and Stan has recently proposed to Lana again. Lana, now a truly beautiful woman, is going to marry in white. Lana and Stan, I love you both, come on, make it wonderful.
